Is Happiness a skill that can be learned?












What makes you happy/unhappy? With a partner, make a list of all the ways that you find happiness. Make another list with all the things that make you unhappy.












What really makes us Happy? Positive Psychology says there are six ways to live a more happy life:
  • Expressing your gratitude - turn your focus from what you don't have to what you do...
  • Doing something kind - being kind makes you feel like you are a part of something important. Being unkind makes you feel shame...
  • Connecting to your community - getting involved, volunteering...
  • Playing - laughter, imagination and creativity reduce stress...
  • Getting in the flow - this can come from physical activities, hobbies or work...
  • Trying something new - people who regularly seek new experiences are happier. Novelty challenges our views of ourselves, our beliefs and the world, and stretches our knowledge and skills... 
Next Class - Happy, the documentary...
